A fancy and fast mode-line inspired by minimalism design.
It's integrated into [Centaur Emacs](https://github.com/seagle0128/.emacs.d), [Doom
Emacs](https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs) and
[Spacemacs](https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs).
## Feature
The `doom-modeline` was designed for minimalism, and offers:
- A match count panel (for `anzu`, `iedit`, `multiple-cursors`, `symbol-overlay`,
`evil-search` and `evil-substitute`)
- An indicator for recording a macro
- Current environment version (e.g. `python`, `ruby`, `go`, etc.) in the major-mode
- A customizable mode-line height (see `doom-modeline-height`)
- A minor modes segment which is compatible with `minions`
- An error/warning count segment for `flymake`/`flycheck`
- A workspace number segment for `eyebrowse`
- A perspective name segment for `persp-mode`
- A window number segment for `ace-window`, `winum` and `window-numbering`
- An indicator for modal editing state, including `evil`, `overwrite`, `god`,
`ryo` and `xah-fly-keys`, etc.
- An indicator for remote host
- An indicator for debug state
- An indicator for current input method
- An indicator for LSP state with `lsp-mode` or `eglot`
- An indicator for github notifications
- An indicator for unread emails with `mu4e-alert`
- An indicator for irc notifications with `circe`
- An indicator for buffer position which is compatible with `nyan-mode`
- An indicator for party parrot
- An indicator for PDF page number with `pdf-tools`
- An indicator for battery status with `fancy-battery`
- Truncated file name, file icon, buffer state and project name in buffer
information segment, which is compatible with `projectile` and `project`
- New mode-line for `Info-mode` buffers
- New package mode-line for `paradox`
- New mode-line for `helm` buffers
- New mode-line for `git-timemachine` buffers

## Install
### Manual
From melpa, `M-x package-install RET doom-modeline RET`.
In `init.el`,
``` emacs-lisp
(require 'doom-modeline)

### Use-package
``` emacs-lisp

This package requires the fonts included with `all-the-icons` to be installed.
Run `M-x all-the-icons-install-fonts` to do so. Please refer to the
[installation guide](https://github.com/domtronn/all-the-icons.el#installation).
Strongly recommend to use
[doom-themes](https://github.com/hlissner/emacs-doom-themes) at the same time.

## FAQ
1. I am experiencing the laggy issue, how to resolve it?
Add this configuration into your init file:
``` emacs-lisp
;; Dont compact font caches during GC.
(setq inhibit-compacting-font-caches t)
```
1. A ridiculous path is displayed on mode-line while visiting a symbolink.
It's the default behaviors of Vanilla Emacs. If you want to display the real
names, please put this into your init file.
``` emacs-lisp
(setq find-file-visit-truename t)
```
If the file is controlled by vc, refer to the documentation of
`vc-follow-symlinks`.
1. Can I add my mode-line segments myself? How to do that?
Of course. Just add the segments into `global-mode-string`.
1. Why doesn't change of branch reflect in modeline?
Actually it's related to `magit` and `vc-mode`.
- Workaround:
- Revert the buffers manually.
- `(setq auto-revert-check-vc-info t)` brings the performance issue.
- Refer to:
- [The mode-line information isnt always
up-to-date](https://magit.vc/manual/magit/The-mode_002dline-information-isn_0027t-always-up_002dto_002ddate.html)
- [Maybe provide an alternative to VC's mode-line
information](https://github.com/magit/magit/issues/2687)
1. How can I define my own mode-line?
Use `doom-modeline-def-modeline` to define your own mode-line and set it as
default.
For example:
- Define your custom doom-modeline
```emacs-lisp
(doom-modeline-def-modeline 'my-simple-line
'(bar matches buffer-info remote-host buffer-position parrot selection-info)
'(misc-info minor-modes input-method buffer-encoding major-mode process vcs checker))
```
- Set it to default using the `doom-modeline-mode-hook`:
```emacs-lisp
(defun setup-custom-doom-modeline ()
(doom-modeline-set-modeline 'my-simple-line 'default))
(add-hook 'doom-modeline-mode-hook 'setup-custom-doom-modeline)
```
1. How to specify font size in modeline?
For example:
``` emacs-lisp
(setq doom-modeline-height 1)
(set-face-attribute 'mode-line nil :height 100)
(set-face-attribute 'mode-line-inactive nil :height 100)
```
